Craftsman 919.15216 owner manual How to Stop, Before Starting, Before Each Start-Up

Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Valve

Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop

1.Set the On/Off switch to "Off" .

Before Starting

Do not operate this unit until you read

and understand this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.

Break-in Procedure

Risk of Unsafe Operation. Serious

damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.

This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.

1.Make sure the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position.

2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit

Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this  manual.)

3.Open the drain valve (counter- clockwise) fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

4.Move the On/Off switch to "On" position. The compressor will start.

5.Run the compressor for 15 min- utes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

6.After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.

The compressor is now ready for use.

Before Each Start-Up

1.Set the On/Off switch to "Off".

2.Turn the regulator knob counter- clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.

3.Attach hose and accessories.

Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly

grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.

Risk of unsafe operation. Do not

use damaged or worn accessories.

NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick con- nect socket.

Risk of Bursting. Too much air

pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.

Risk of unsafe operation.

Compressed air from the unit may contain water­ condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfil­tered­ air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories may require filtered air. Read the instruc­tions­ for the air tools and accessories.
